A Ron DeSantis veto has a Pinellas County environmental group scrambling to save lots of a 14-acre plot of forest land from builders.
The West Klosterman Preservation Group has raised $436 thousand by itself, and *thought* it had $3 million from the state to accumulate the property from the college district, however the governor vetoed the expenditure. “We had an appropriation for $3 million,” mentioned the Preservation Group’s Kay Carter. “and we found out last Thursday that Governor DeSantis line-item vetoed that. So we thought we had raised the money, we thought we had done the job.”
Kay Carter mentioned the group now has simply over three weeks to boost $2.7 million wanted to buy the land. A improvement group is alleged to be able to step in to purchase the Preserve and construct condos.
